Electromagnetism week 9 Physical Systems, Tuesday 6.Mar. 2007, EJZ • Waves and wave equations • Electromagnetism & Maxwell’s eqns • Derive EM wave equation and speed of light • Derive Max eqns in differential form • Magnetic monopole more symmetry • Next quarter
Wave equation 1. Differentiate dD/dt d2D/dt2 2. Differentiate dD/dx d2D/dx2 3. Find the speed from
Gauss: E fields diverge from charges Lorentz force: E fields can move charges Causes and effects of E F = q E
Ampere: B fields curl around currents Lorentz force: B fields can bend moving charges Causes and effects of B F = q v x B = IL x B
Changing fields create new fields! Faraday: Changing magnetic flux induces circulating electric field Guess what a changing E field induces?
Changing E field creates B field! Current piles charge onto capacitor Magnetic field doesn’t stop Changing electric flux • “displacement current” • magnetic circulation
Maxwell eqns electromagnetic waves Consider waves traveling in the x direction with frequency f= w/2p and wavelength l= 2p/k E(x,t)=E0 sin (kx-wt) and B(x,t)=B0 sin (kx-wt) Do these solve Faraday and Ampere’s laws?
Speed of Maxwellian waves? Faraday: wB0 = k E0 Ampere: m0e0wE0=kB0 Eliminate B0/E0 and solve for v=w/k e0 = 8.85 x 10-12C2 N/m2 m0= 4 p x 10-7 Tm/A
Maxwell equations Light E(x,t)=E0 sin (kx-wt) and B(x,t)=B0 sin (kx-wt) solve Faraday’s and Ampere’s laws. Electromagnetic waves in vacuum have speed c and energy/volume = 1/2 e0 E2 = B2 /(2m0 )

Maxwell eqns in differential form Notice the asymmetries – how can we make these symmetric by adding a magnetic monopole?
If there were magnetic monopoles… where J = rv
